Summary
Mary looked out across the garden again. Tomorrow, she would catch the bus to her faculty building, not a packed commuter train with a two hour journey ahead of her, instead from a home where she had been told she was most welcome.
For the first time since her father's death, she allowed herself to imagine the future without a sense of dread attached to it. London suddenly didn't seem frightening at all.
It felt, quietly and unexpectedly, like her real life was about to begin.
Mary/Tom Modern AU.
